    Ok it was only against Burton but Grealish was brilliant tonight. Great coup for Villa.

    I thought Hibs fans normally appreciate players who actually want to play football rather than play the ugly percentages game?
    Absolute showpony. Would give Ronaldo a run for his pathetic acting.

    He was released by Arsenal.

    Doesn’t look like McGinn is going anywhere soon, interview with Dean Smith in the Guardian:

    “We’re planning this season around Jack as one of our core players, along with John McGinn, who’s like having a new signing now that he’s back at full speed, Tyrone Mings and Douglas Luiz, who finished the season fantastically,” said Smith.

    Grealish is one of the top midfielders in the EPL. He has everything.

    Grealish is a top quality player with that swashbuckling style that is a throwback to the late 60s early 70s.
    What clearly let's him down is his off field antics which would put a few off him I would imagine.

    As for Kane, he's Spurs through and through. There is well documented footage of him maybe in his early teens and all he could talk about was Spurs this and Spurs that.

    For me the quality isn't any better than what I've seen on the continent, never has been. Sky do a fantastic job of promoting it that's the big difference. I tried watching English football before ours started and it bored me to tears. Granted the lack of fans probably didn't help. Probably doesn't help not having an English team either. Just can't get excited by it.

    I would agree try watching Burnley v WBA or Sheffield Utd v West Ham whilst there are some great games there is also a lot of poor games in there too.

    I'll show a fleeting interest in say Liverpool v Man United as it's a big game. Same as El Clasico but even then I'd struggle to watch it without zoning in and out and checking Hibs.net 😂. Couldn't even tell you who plays for Burnley or WBA. The coverage and pundits are terrific though. Neville, Carragher and Keane are gold.

    Definately but I imagine that is true of any league, chose a middle to bottom team and the standard can't be the same as the top 5 or 6

    As villa are my English team (and I use that saying loosely) it great to see him signing a new contract, he is a proper footballer not a programmed robot like a lot of players down there every team needs someone to get you of your seat he does that also the new owners seem to be putting a lot of money into the club.

    Created more chances for his teammates than any other player in the league last season other than Kevin De Bruyne.

    This is true, but nowadays these teams are all strong, athletic and technically very good. This shouldn’t be a surprise - after 30 years of pumping in more and more money, the EPL now attracts many of the best players in the world.

    There are still poor games but mostly because teams are desperate to avoid relegation and can cancel each other out. Burnley isn’t a bigger club than Hibs (arguably smaller) but their resources absolutely dwarf ours.

    Grealish is a cracking player, capable of creating something out of nothing, taking people on, holding the ball in tight spaces and scoring worldy goals, he's everything you want to see in the pitch.

    I love watching Grealish. The socks at the ankles,
    See, I know this shouldn't but it does, that annoys the **** out of me. Pull your bloody socks up pal!!!

    Watching Villa last night was like watching a school team - there's one lad who's miles better than all the others and he wanders all over the pitch taking the ball off his mates and trying to score worldies. Cracking goal though!

    Another superb player that a lot of football fans like to play down as they don’t like him.

    Watching him and McGinn play together is a pleasure.

    Wasn’t a dig at you Mr Scouse, hadn’t even read the early posts to see that you didn’t rate him.

    Just generally speaking.

    Yeah no problem, I didn’t think you had singled me out 😁
    I don’t what it is, I’ve just never been convinced by him.

    In season 2013-4 Jack Grealish and Celtic's Callum McGregor both played 37 times on loan for Notts County. Jack was around 19 then and an absolute joy to watch. He mainly played as an orthodox outside-left and would drift past 2-3-4 players effortlessly, put beautiful crosses in or cause havoc by driving inside into the box. Albeit this was in League One. Every time he got the ball there was a buzz of anticipation in the ground. Worth the admission himself at times.

    For me, players like Jack Grealish make the game what it is
